Obliquity-paced Pliocene West Antarctic ice sheet oscillations

Tim R Naish, +60 more
- 19 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: A marine glacial record from the upper 600 m of the AND-1B sediment core recovered from beneath the northwest part of the Ross ice shelf is presented and well-dated, ∼40-kyr cyclic variations in ice-sheet extent linked to cycles in insolation influenced by changes in the Earth’s axial tilt (obliquity) during the Pliocene are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conduit processes during the July-August 2001 explosive activity of Mt. Etna (Italy) : inferences from glass chemistry and crystal size distribution of ash particles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the causes of the transitions between style of basaltic explosion at Mt. Etna from July 19 to August 7, 2001, and provided a good case study to investigate the causes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of magma storage and ascent on the kinetics of crystal growth

TL;DR: The size distributions of olivine, plagioclase and oxides of the 1991/93 eruption at Mt. Etna (Italy) were analyzed in this article, showing that the main features of the volcano feeding system have not changed despite observed variations in the magma output rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic plumbing system beneath volcanoes revealed by kinetic modeling, and the connection to monitoring data: An example from Mt. Etna

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the record preserved in compositional zoning of erupted minerals to reconstruct sections of the plumbing system of Mt. Etna (Sicily) during its 1991-1993 SE-flank eruption.
